No surprises here: Some of the biggest names in the literary world have made the 2017 Man Booker long list recognizing Britain’s best authors, with a few outside exceptions. Colson Whitehead’s National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize winnerThe Underground Railroad,Zadie Smith’s Swing Time, and Arundhati Roy’s overdue return after 20 years, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, are all up for the prize. In its fourth year allowing all English-language works, four works by Americans made the cut: Emily Fridlund’s History of Wolves, Paul Auster’s 4321, and George Saunders’s Lincoln in the Bardo, alongside Whitehead. The short list will be announced on September 13, with the winner awarded in October. Until then, queue up your book club’s fall reading list accordingly.
